Grouper naming and nesting conventions
Folders and groups should be organized hierarchically. Follow the DRS/Northeastern graph to create new folders and groups. For example, to create a new group for a research group in the Department of English, first make sure there is a folder for the College of Social Sciences and Humanities and a folder for the Department of English, then create a research group in the Department of English folder.
Every Grouper folder and group is assigned a name and an ID. Grouper names and IDs should:
- be descriptive and succinct
- be lower case
- use underscores between words
See a the Grouper spreadsheet for a list of active Grouper groups and folders.
